Envisioning Real Utopias seminar (now with added links)

by John Quiggin on March 18, 2013

Utopia means “nowhere” so I guess its appropriate that our seminar on Erik Olin Wright’s Envisioning Real Utopias has been in the vaporware category for years. However, we’re finally ready to go live. We’ll be putting up a post every day or two for the next couple of weeks, then Erik will respond. Some of the posts will be fairly conventional reviews, others will take some particular point as a license to jump off in new directions. Enjoy and comment!

At the suggestion of a commenter “m”, here are some useful links

Hey, great. I’ve always felt that while these seminars get some fantastic contributions, they don’t have the impact they ought to when you get ten posts on the same topic in just a day or two. So I’m delighted you’ll be doing this one over a more extended period.
